Grace Massillon -Most Improved - Girls Track and Field
This young lady has set upon an exponential route of improvement through this past year. She forged that path through a steady persistent path of interval, drill, and mileage training. She improved this year again dramatically to win the NSCHSGAA Championship 600 meter race, score in the 300 meters, and the 4×400 relay at that same meet. At the Catholic Intersectional Championship Meet, she scored in the 600 again and ran a blazing anchor leg to secure herself and her relay teammates a qualification in the New York State Federation Championship Meet. We are honored tonight to bestow junior Grace Massillon with the Winter Track and Field M.I.P. Award.
